Ouachita Parish repeals truck restriction on John Price Road and Winnfield Cutoff
Summary
On June 1, 2026 the Police Jury adopted Ordinance No. 9550 (5–0) repealing a prior truck restriction (Ordinance No. 9526), finding the related construction project is substantially complete and instructing Public Works to remove signage.
The Ouachita Parish Police Jury voted 5–0 on June 1, 2026 to adopt Ordinance No. 9550, repealing Section 14-22.1 (previously enacted as Ordinance No. 9526) that restricted certain commercial truck traffic on John Price Road and Winnfield Cutoff Road.
The ordinance's preamble states the major construction project that produced repetitive heavy-load truck traffic has been substantially completed and that the roads are no longer frequently used as a shortcut between Highway 546 and Highway 838. Mr. Jimmy Tyson offered the ordinance for adoption; the roll call vote recorded five yeas and one absence (Mr. Larry Bratton). The Public Works Department was authorized and directed to remove any signage previously installed pursuant to the repealed ordinance.
No public comment was recorded during the hearing on the repeal. The minutes do not specify a timeline for sign removal beyond the direction to the Public Works Department.
